Lost Days

 Tomorrow I am having surgery on my left arm. The fall happened on April 7th, and I have been in some pain since then. I have missed lovely spring days when I wanted to be gardening, painting, or just enjoying daily routines. I will have a new appreciation for those things in the future. My dear Corkey has been wonderful, helping with meals, dressing, and grooming. Our daughters Chance and Lauren have been wonderful as well, driving us to doctors' appointments. Life is good in spite of this unexpected event. 

Happy Day

 On the first of April I had the pleasure of keeping Tallulah an entire afternoon while her parents painted their kitchen. She was a joy to watch. However, by the end of the afternoon I realized how very old I am. I was tired with a backache. But the time with Tallulah was certainly worth it.
